You're a really good instructor, Allie. And thanks for some ideas for other uses for memory wire. I've never made a memory wire before but I have a brand new pack of wire and I've been considering my options. You gave me some things to think about!

I have a bunch of bracelet memory wire that I'm intending to make into a multi strand cuff, but this video inspires me to pick up random beads and string them on.
A fun project is 4mm, 6mm Czech glass and a seed bead mix. I've made a few 4 loop bracelets like this. Works really well with the Czech glass mixes. Gave them as gifts too.
I love memory wire because of how simple it is.
We agree! There are so many different options you can use on memory wire and you can whip up gifts for family and friends in no time! Here is another video of a bracelet made on memory that is quite unique you may enjoy! www.potomacbeads.com/spiralling-pearls-bracelet-tutorial
@@Potomacbeadco oh wow! I didn't know you could bezel on memory wire! I'm going to add to the neverending pile of ideas. I ended up going through my stash looking for some 4mm somethings to make the begonia earrings and I realized I have a ready made memory wire bracelet of a variety of reds and odds and ends. Stash buster turned easy gift. You guys are the absolute best. Truly. I have so many ideas from your videos and I'll never be able to make everything I want to lol.
Loved the memory wire bracelet that you made. Nice work. 👏👏👏

Allie, I like memory wire and saw a picture of a flat bracelet with memory wire. How do you flatten the coils to make a flat bracelet? Is there a way or would it be not doable?
Thanks for the tips and tricks! I always appreciate learning more about memory wire!!! Great video!!!❤❤❤

Is there any way I can make it smaller. I take a 6 inch bracelet. Thanks enjoyed the presentation.
Hello there! Memory wire acts like a spring to be flexible and fit a broad range of sizes. Many people are comfortable with the medium size. Those with smaller wrists and hands can now choose the small size for a tighter fit, and those who find that memory wire designs are usually too tight can use the large size.
How do I know which size I need? I have pretty thin wrist, not sure how to choose the write option from beadalon
Hello! For a small wrist you may want to go with the small size memory wire which is 1 and 3/4. Here is another memory wire video you may find helpful! www.potomacbeads.com/how-to-work-with-memory-wire
